and how precisely would the pound "go" ?Originally posted by scooterscot View PostScooterscots predictions:
1) Greece will not leave the EU. Tick. In fact they are expecting growth next year that'll risk outpacing UK
2) The Euro will not collapse. 8 years ago everyone was saying it'll be gone in 5-years. If anything it'll be the pound that goes before the euro.

You mean like those in Scotland that all bu66er off down to London for a proper job.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostLet's not forget what the Greeks did to Troy.
Indeed, let us forget what the average Wrexiter has done to the young educated Brits who wanted to remain. Now that is a travesty.
Or, I suppose, in your case Germany.

Quite proud of it really!
Pity they have been brainwashed.
Apparently after Brexit they won't be able to work abroad at all.
We will fall into global war (possibly true as The Donald & The Vlad are squaring up but I suspect the EU will be found cowering in the corner).
A comet will hit Earth.
Its like going to church but far more bizarre beliefs.

I'm sure everyone is aware that inflation has been below target for a while now. If it had been on target then prices would have been far higher than they are. We need a couple of years of above target inflation just to keep up.
